Compañía de Agua Mariscal and its rates
- Water for industry
- Industrial water, wells and discharges
- Audited
It is a private water supplier in the capital that has operated 'since 1928' according to its own site, with 18 wells of its own in zones 1-13 (Con Criterio) and a service that 'comes to about 5% of the population' of the area served by EMPAGUA (EMPAGUA/MGCS). It charges Q7.85/m³ for the first 20 m³ (Q157) and Q20/m³ above that; a residential connection costs Q3,500 (Sep 2025 reference). It serves residential customers and developments. The audit corrected earlier data ('since 1927-28; 20-25% of the population').
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
